Adamo by Dell – contralaptop to MacBook?
The newest line launched by Dell, having as target the MacBook fans, seems to meet the expectations. Slim, slick, powerful, with quite big battery autonomy, seems the perfect response to the Mac version.
Since I can’t compare the systems more that by looks, seems that Dell slaps the Apple in face – it is the first time when a device really levels to the looks of an Apple MacBook. Crisp screen, clean design, lightweight – seems that the managers have a new shiny toy at their disposal.
I will let you discover the rest…

How to add ui-icons to JQuery tabs

But you can read about the the entire process on my blog.

Adding events to LINQtoCSV library

The User Experience that a library provides must be at least equal with is quality and speed. And frankly, CSVtoLINQ rocks on latest two, but lacks a little on the User Experience(in our case Developer Experience) by not having some events of starting, progress and ending of the parsing.

Very technical project, using numerous tables from a database to estimate the average growth of a number of forests.

In order to understand the need of changing the screen orientation on a Microsoft Surface, you might want to think aboutthe situation in which you have casual visitors, who sit in pairs working on one Surface, you might considering rotating the window such that the ’Down’ of the application would be the nearest edge to them.
The User Interface

This week we work also on the User Interface – the Flash GUI. It was challenging sinceI haven’t previous experience in creating games in Flash. The application creates 4 spots in the bottom of the scene and 2 in the top to show randomly an new animal each time one is hit. This areas are hit areas designed to respond to phisical sensors placed on the back of the board on which the Flash Game will be projected.

Yes, the Adamo has a nice design when compared to most of the PC notebooks (BTW, there are also other examples that look nice), but there are worlds between its design and that of the MacBook Air. The Adamo is often compared to this Apple product even if I don’t think that the target group is the same – Apple’s clientele is entirely different from Dell’s. So, maybe the Dell Adamo will be a nice for managers – but not for those that used an Apple MacBook Air, they will continue to use it, and if it’s for running Windows on it. But, frankly – far from a “slap in Apple’s face”.

This competition will stand a chance once they will be able to come up with a version of windows that can match OSX. (and as far as it looks now, windows 7 is still far away from that)

I only wanted to point out that it is the first attempt from PC world to take a share from the Apple Market. And, since there is a big share, maybe in future everyone will want a cut – HP, IBM, Acer etc. This competition is most beneficial to us, users.

Yes, you’re right – but maybe a third party company will do a face lifting to Windows.
